More than 300 people have applied for a "Super Fan" job at this year's Download Festival.
The job, which is advertised on the Xpat job website, was posted by Live Nation earlier this week.
The successful applicant will ideally be able to speak "Danish, American-English and Metal", and will be rewarded with "modest pay, immodest quantities of Jack Daniels."
The job description involves checking there are no brown M&Ms backstage, banging on the drums to check sound levels, and chauffering artists from VIP area to stage in golf buggies.

It's not all fun and games though, according to Live Nation's Charley Bezer: "The job sounds like fun, but there is a lot of hard work too. We want the public and the bands to have an equally amazing time, so the Super Fan will certainly be kept busy all wekeend."
She added: "There won't be much downtime, but this may just be the most incredible weekend of their life."
To apply for the job, Live Nation are asking applicant to email them listing their top 5 rock tracks of all time.
